Cowboy vs. Samurai

Pear Theatre presents Michael Golamco's Cowboy vs. Samurai, a romantic comedy loosely based on Cyrano de Bergerac, directed by Jeffrey Lo. Travis Park is a high school English teacher and the only Korean American man living in a dusty cowboy town known as Breakneck, Wyoming. And when a gorgeous, whip-smart Asian American woman moves into town, he immediately falls for her; the only problem is that she only dates white men — such as the ruggedly handsome but fairly dim Phys Ed teacher that is Travis' colleague. Savagely mirthful and often moving, Cowboy vs. Samurai was called "funny, sharply written, and tackles the topic of race head-on, with both barrels blazing” by the Calgary Herald.
